- Hey everyone! I am so excited to share how I completed my DIY Quikrete Walkmaker Patio. I am not a professional and have never worked on a project like this before. I hope this video is helpful for you if you are considering doing this project.
Jazmin 🌻
QUICK NOTE:
I am working on about 161 sq ft of ground. The mold is 22x22 inches. I used a total of 30, 80 LB Quikrete bags start to finish. I ended up using 1 1/2 gallons of water per bag for a smoother finish. I hand molded individual pieces for the edge. We used 4 bags of 50 LB Quikrete All Purpose Sand and 6 bags of Quikrete 50 LB Play Sand. Links to all products are listed below.

9 month patio update here -> th-cam.com/video/867yZQhMR_A/w-d-xo.html
Hi, approximately how long did you leave the mold in place before starting the next section? Thanks in advance.
I didn’t wait at all before starting the next section. The cement is thick enough so it won’t spill everywhere once removed immediately.
It is perfect ❤️✌️
Most beautiful, common sense video tutorial I've seen. Thank you 😊
You gotta be one cold-hearted person to thumbs down this video. Ms. Vibes worked hard, and it looks super. Plus she has the satisfaction of enjoying her beautiful work. :)
Aww thank you 😃!
Bravo! Great job.
Thank you!
The few things I saw was not getting the concrete in the corners that good and when she pulled the mold of they lines weren’t patted down but your absolutely right not worth a thumbs down
Joel, I agree she did an awesome job on this. She worked hard and explained everything. Out is great. Sometimes a thumbs down means the video went on and on and didn't get to the point right away. I'm a person woth ADD and have seen 20+ minute videos that tale forever to get to the point.
I watched a kitchen organizing video one time and the lady showed us her taking everything out of the cabinets ( instead of showing in fast motion). She explained why she was throwing away expired food, etc. I couldn't finish watching.
I’m so glad a woman has done a video using these molds , I’ve been considering using them , it’s great to hear from someone who has about the same body strength as me , Thank you ❤️
I did something similar years back (when I was younger lol) and it was very rewarding (if not perfect) we woman are here to show everything two male hands can do, we can as well.
GO GIRLS!!🌵🌵🤟🤟
As another woman who does ‘man projects’ I want to give you a big high-five and hug! Great job! Congratulations on a hard job well done!!! 💪🏼
I'm seeing this 1 year after you posted but I just wanted to say you did a great job and give you just 1 tip when mixing concrete .... it's easier to mix if you put the water in the trough first. Mixing concrete is one heck of a work out! Great job on your project!
Great tip and thank you!
This video was awesome for two reasons. It's so good to see a woman doing this and also it was very informative on how to do this successfully. I really enjoyed all the tips you gave for this project. I feel confident I can do this now. Thanks so much!
Aww wonderful ☺️! Thank you so much and I’m glad to help!
WOW! Great job! I was going to get some of those same molds and do a walkway, but now that I've seen what you've done, I want to add a patio to my place too! My wife loves what you've done! Thanks for a great video! You ROCK!!!
Aww thank you so much! I wish you the best of luck 😃!
GIRL YOU ARE GOOD GOOD SO VERY GOOD.AMAZING WORK.
Dragging with a towel is an AWESOME idea!!!
How can anyone thumbs down this video? Nice work and awesome job! I am inspired!
Thank you ☺️!
Because they don't know the difference between up and down, they actually meant thumbs up. lol.
Your pup is such a respectful sweetie. My dog would have autographed every moist stone.
😂😂😂 she definitely is 💕
Mine just have be under my butt, autographs would definitely happen. 😍🤣🤩
😂😂😂
Thank you for this video! It’s one of the best I’ve seen of this process. I’m feeling much more confident about taking this on now.
Wonderful 😃!!
My wife and I are looking to put a patio in and I’m weighing my options between a paver patio and this. Very helpful, thanks! It looks good!
Thank you! Please be sure to check out my 9 month update so you both can see a possibility of what it could look like in the future. Best of luck to you both 😀
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I was so lost when I started my project, and now I know what I want to do!!!!!!!! This was the BEST tutorial EVER!!!!!
You did a ton of hard work. Looks amazing 😻
I tried my best 😄
Great step by step informative narrative!
Wonderful job!
WOW.....that looks amazing. You guys did a great job.
Hi from Australia.
I've wanted to do this for years.
You did an EXCELLENT job!
Now I'm brave enough to try it myself.
It looks GREAT! You did do a perfect job 😊 Thanks for sharing! ❤
Whoever came up with these mold ideas is a genius. They look so good and give a professional look 😍. Glad you had help because that is backbreaking. So worth it. It looks great.
Agreed! Thank you, now I just have to get used to maintaining it. But I love having it, it beats the swamp that was there before.
Great job Jazmin! And so sweet of David to help you! It looks great! Been thinking of doing it myself! All the best and thank you for sharing! ❤️👵🏻
It really is a treat to DIY these types of projects. Thank you so much,
Ive watched a lot of these videos abut concrete moulds, and i have to say yours looks the best i think its because you did not spend ages flattening the surface concrete so looks more natural and rustic especialy with the sand. so ita all looking fabulous
Love it!! It was nice hearing you and your Dad did it together. I'd give anything to be able to do things w/my Dad again! Great job, thanks for showing us how to do this. Cute dog 🐕 ⚘
Thank you so much! Yes, he did not want me doing it alone 💕.
Nice job! One tip that I have heard from other people, after you remove the mold, give it a quick rinse from a hose so the concrete doesn't dry on it.
Gteat video. Love your ideas! Esp with the towel! So smart. Thank you!
I love getting exercise doing projects otherwise exercise is boring & hard to motivate myself. The bonus of DIY! It feels good to see what I can accomplish & say "I did that"! God bless! Thanks for sharing!
Definitely feels good after! Thank you so much!
Oh my GOSH it came out excellent!!!
I know it's an older video, but this looks really nice! I'm wanting to do this for the front walkway of my house. Nice job! Thanks for sharing your experiences 👍❤️
Glad it was helpful and thank you 😊!
Staring this tomorrow. This gives me confidence! Thanks
You did a remarkable job! Nice!
That looks fantastic! Thanks for the ratios too. I’m doing a ring around my tree in the front and you’ve given me a head start.
Wonderful! I wish you the best of luck!
Omg i died when you mentioned your dad, that is so me he comes to be nosey but takes over lol. Great job
😂 lol A fathers love! Thank you 😃
Looks absolutely stunning. Well done.
Thank you so much!
Thank you! This is way better than the company's video. Plus it helps to learn from someone with a nice face and cheerful demeanor!!!
Aww thank you so much! I’m glad it’s helpful for you ☺️!
Jazmin, this is a beautiful job and I hope you are so very very proud of yourself!!!!! My Daddy was a Master Mason (Bricklayer who does amazing things that is closer to art than bricklaying!) and he helped me with everything from outdoor BBQ or Grill as you guys call them, I believe. 🇨🇦’s call them BBQ’s, LOL! And tiles and my fireplace etc etc and do I ever miss him so very much that you just lit my heart when I heard you say your Father came over to help you❤️. That is amazing and once a Daddy’s Girl, always a Daddy’s Girl! Give him a huge hug hon as nothing is better than having your Father come and help you and teach you to do things smarter not harder as well as little tricks that make things go much smoother etc. as well as what NOT to do which is priceless such as not leaving cement out on the lawn or any little “spills” as there goes your lawn mower blade LOL! I was blessed and learned those before vs by “experience” as some of my friends who had begged to borrow my Daddy! He was there for everyone, always.❤️ Enjoy that patio girl! It is always so much more meaningful when you have your family and friends help you because they love you!!! Beautiful job as are you!❤️🙌🏻❤️
Thank you so much for you kind words! Yes, once a daddy’s girl always a daddy’s girl! He refuses to let me do these things on my own and I love him so much for it! Even when I’m stubborn and say I want to do it on my own, eventually I ask for help lol
Thank you for sharing this process!!!!
What a great DIY video. Bravo.
Fantastic! Great job!
Fantastic. Well done!

Great job Jazmin!!! Thank you very much for sharing all your tips! You empowered me to do this for our yard!
Thank you so much for this outstanding tutorial. Now I feel like I can do this with a little help 😊
I'm encouraged to do this! Thank you
That was a slick move using the towels to move the bags!
Yes, it helped a lot. I definitely couldn’t pick up and walk with those bags. Thank you for watching!
That was the first thing I noticed! Haha - working smarter not harder :)
Very nice job, congrats!!!
This is so awesome, that you should start a business. Great job!
I am so glad to have found this video! I am starting mine in another couple of weeks. You have given us great tips and inspiration! Thank you!
Hardworking lady wow thank you
OMG so amazing. The best part is you have the mold and the skill to add on or make repairs. It’s really stunning!🤩🤩
True to Vibes - you did an amazing job! I am so inspired. I have purchased two molds (same ones) that have been sitting in my garage for over a year now!!! Yours is the first video that didn't make me anxious; you are truly an inspiration, thank you :)
AG I am so glad to know that! I hope your project comes out amazing, best of luck to you 😊. And thank you so much!
There is nothing to it really, well manual labor. LOL They even have coloring for the concrete. The most important part is to make sure your base layer is level and slightly sloped away from your homes foundation. 80lbs bags of concrete is the challenge and use a wheel barrow and dont carry them things long distances.
Ive had mine about 7yrs lol 😆
Beautiful job! Thank you for the inspiration and step by step walk through
That is awesome!
Great job! I love your energy ☺️
You did a great job!!!
stunning !
This is beautiful!! Can't wait to do mine...
Thank you so much and I wish you the best of luck with yours!
Nice! It's definitely hard work but so rewarding. Probably 20yrs ago I did a patio area on a property I planned to sell within a year. I foolishly presumed I could process 4 to 5 bags per day. I managed 3 bags a few times but 2 was my norm. As you stated It's a lot for one person. I used a push broom to create a consistent surface each time after I removed the frame. The organic edges appealed to me. I also added sprigs of monkey grass to help with the tropical look I wanted. It filled in quickly and is basically zero maintenance - even I cannot kill it. I added a dye to the Quickrete mixture so the patio matched the blonde brick on the house. When I sold the house the patio was a definite asset plus I enjoyed it. I am now thinking about moving but at 73 I will not be able to handle mixing concrete. The next owner can make their own choices.
Great job Jazmin ,just a great job
Thank you!
WOW.. great job!! and so smart on using the shovel, and saving hours of using a trowel !!
